Shane Drohan was selected by the White Sox in the Rule 5 Draft, joining Chicago after spending his entire career in the Red Sox's organization. A left handed starter, Drohan threw 123 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester in 2023 compiling a 10-7 record and 129 strikeouts, but also a 5.05 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. Drohan provides rotation depth for the White Sox, but could more likely be used as a long relief option making it difficult to have much faith in any fantasy upside during 2024.

  • White Sox's Shane Drohan: Continuing rehab at Single-A

    Drohan (shoulder) moved his rehab assignment to High-A Winston-Salem on Tuesday and gave up three runs (two earned) on one hit and one walk while retiring one batter. Working his way back from left shoulder nerve decompression surgery, Drohan allowed three runs with a 9:2 K:BB over 3.2 innings in three appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League before advancing his assignment to High-A. The Rule 5 pick will likely use all of his 30 allotted rehab days before the White Sox add him to the roster. Drohan will need to remain on Chicago's roster all season or be offered back to the Red Sox. If he sticks around with the White Sox, he'll likely be deployed out of the bullpen, given that he hasn't yet pitched more than two innings in any of his four rehab outings to date.

  • White Sox's Shane Drohan: Heads to 60-day IL

    The White Sox placed Drohan (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list Thursday. A Rule 5 selection this winter, Drohan missed the entirety of his first spring training with Chicago while recovering from left shoulder nerve decompression surgery. According to MLB.com, Drohan is expected to begin a throwing program shortly after the regular season begins, but his placement on the 60-day IL implies that the White Sox expect him to take nearly two months to get fully ramped up. Drohan served primarily as a starter for the Red Sox's Triple-A affiliate in Worcester last season, registering a 6.37 ERA, 1.85 WHIP and 93:63 K:BB in 89 innings.

  • White Sox's Shane Drohan: Undergoes surgery

    Drohan underwent shoulder surgery Thursday, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports. Drohan is expected to begin a throwing program by the end of the spring, but it's unclear how long it will be before he takes the mound for the White Sox. The 25-year-old Rule 5 Draft pick posted a 6.37 ERA and 1.85 WHIP across 89 innings with Boston's Triple-A affiliate last year. While most of Drohan's minor-league appearances came as a starter, it's possible the White Sox bring him back to serve as a multi-inning reliever.

  • White Sox's Shane Drohan: Headed to White Sox

    Drohan was selected by the White Sox in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. Drohan is a lefty with a plus changeup who contributed a 5.05 ERA and 129:72 K:BB over 123 innings between Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester in 2023.

  • Red Sox's Shane Drohan: Exits start with calf cramp

    Drohan was removed from his most recent start Sunday with Triple-A Worcester ahead of the fifth inning due to a calf cramp, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports. Drohan struck out a batter and allowed three hits and three walks over four scoreless innings before being lifted from the contest when he felt discomfort in his calf while warming up prior to the fifth inning. Fortunately for Drohan, his injury wasn't deemed to be anything too serious, and Worcester is still proceeding as though he'll be able to make his next turn through the rotation in Buffalo later this week. The southpaw has posted a 5.03 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 33:27 K:BB over 39.1 innings at Worcester since being promoted from Double-A Portland in mid-May.

  • Red Sox's Shane Drohan: Dominant in Eastern League

    Drohan allowed one hit and two walks while striking out four over six scoreless innings to earn his fifth win in five starts for Double-A Portland on Thursday. Drohan picked up where he left off in April, for which he was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Month, per Christopher Smith of MassLive.com. The lefty, drafted in fifth round in 2020 out of Florida State University, is an under-the-radar prospect that started to blip on the radar in 2022. Drohan mostly lives in the 92-to-95 mph range with his fastball and augments it with a curve and changeup. Most notably in 2023, the 24-year-old former Seminole is cutting down on walks, lowering his rate to 1.9 BB/9 from 3.96 last season. The free pass has been an issue for Drohan since his college days (8.43 BB/9).
